From 34 years as Leo in major city. 1. Never go out after 9 pm, if you can help it. 2 never go to gas station/ convenience store at night. 3. Don't get involved when you have your family with you. They come first. 4. Disengage if at all possible. 5. Dont let your ego drag you into conflicts. 6. Lock your doors. The over wellming majority of violent crime happens at night. Family first. Now a days you will probably have multiple assailants.
avoid the watering holes is a good overall plan!
Sound advice
depends on where you are in the world.... there're safer places than the US of A. :D.
@@eatdriveplayis that fun to just say?
If you live in an upper middle class area they are often targets for daytime smash and dash. Being home during these instances with multiple assailants making entry while they are not knowing if anyone is home makes for a dangerous situation.
The doomsday stuff is cool, but really enjoy more grounded and realistic approaches to security and preparedness. Thanks guys
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Christ Died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that He was Buried, and that He Rose Again the Third day according to the scriptures. Accept Christ as Savior and BELIEVE in Him and what He did for YOU at the Cross, your next breath is NOT guaranteed, and if you die in your sins without being Saved you will spend Eternity in Hell separated from God. Through Christ your sins are Forgiven, Fellowship with God The Father is Restored, and you’ll have Eternal Life ( Heaven ). Jesus is the ONLY WAY to The Father and the ONLY WAY to Heaven, make the Right decision and prepare your soul for where it will spend eternity. Christ is Coming back for those of us that belong to Him so much SOONER than any of us Think!!!!!. The Rapture of the Church is IMMINENT, and the Only way to escape what’s Coming, The Great Tribulation ( 7 years of Hell on earth ) is to Not be here for it, get saved and seek Christ while you still can for the dispensation of Grace is very quickly coming to an end. God Bless you all and your beautiful families, and I Hope to see each and every single one of you in the clouds with Jesus and at the Wedding Supper of the Lamb very very soon.
Agreed
1000%
I subbed for goat farming motor bikes and guns in that order
This really isn’t doomsday. Like the whole inside the restaurant is something everyone should do. They said something like knowing where an AED or medical kit is. Like yeah they use the active pew pew situation but lot of it is situational awareness and looking where to go.
"I'm not raising victims I'm raising protectors." I like that
Crazy coincidence this video gets published mere moments after my wife FaceTimes me at Drill sergeant academy. Telling me she’s pregnant with our first kid. 😅
Congratulations dude!
Your life is forever Changed......for the better.
Congratulations Sir.
Congratulations!
Congrats man!
That's awesome dude!
Finally a video other than CQB, EDC, gadgets, gear and room clearing. As a Former LEO and now working EP this is a great video for the common man with no LEO and EP experience, as well as a refresher for guys with experience. Knowledge is power. Appreciate this video guys. Clear concise and simple explanation. Job well done.
No wonder my dad used to always go into the restaurant first to "check the wait time" before we got out the car..... Genius
That’s funny because I do the same thing.
My dad too but he wasn't secret service
My daughter is 7 weeks old, thank you good sir for your timing
congrats bro
Congrats!
Good job brother protect her with your life
That maybe a bit young
Congratulations!
This.
This is the kind of Dirty Civilian content I want more of.
Adding blind-spot mirrors onto your side mirrors is a must both for general safety and situational awareness.
My truck has them and they are the best thing ever, at first I thought they were lame but I was wrong!
@@CombatWombatQRF Personally I just hate checking the blindspot the old fashioned way. I like to keep my eyes forward
Like they way I have mine are that the manufacturer mirrors are used to see the road. And the little aftermarket sick on mirrors are showing the area below the windows so I can see the door handles or if some ones bent over walking up.
Both the dads we need and want in the community!!!!
Speak for yourself.
@@AJohnSmith someone didn't get enough attention growing up...womp womp
@@EliteDiesel i agree.. speak for your self... What are you going to now complain that another person isnt eating up the slop in this video.
@@ryanthomas2374 keep fueling the algo 😉
@@ryanthomas2374 Keep fueling the algo 😉
It’s absolutely wild that across all videos like this, almost EVERY professional’s, or experienced person’s, advice is basically “pay attention.”
Really shows how many people truly have zero SA.
Keep your head/eyes out of the phone.....
king of the hill vibe seeing everyone with their hands in heir pocket
Thays funny . But in all seriousness . In prison you dint stand with hands in pockets or arms crossed . Just in case something pops off it takes time to react
Yyyup...
Yup.
Mmhmn
Yeah. I wish the quiet EP guy spoke more. Just like I prefer Drew.
I just want a gf
Be careful what you wish for. If you enjoy your sanity at all, then what you want is a partner.
Stay single, kings. These hoes ain’t loyal
Yo what
Follow Christ first
You could clone one with a hair sample
I needed this video more than you know! Father of 3 and in the military! Thank you for all you do!
As a father of 2 young kids, I thank you for making this video.
Woke up before the wife and kids to organize my shop… proceeded to enjoy the most majestic morning of education with my coffee. Can’t thank you guys enough. Jammed packed with pearls.
This kinda content is priceless to me. The place where I live is quite chill and full of good people, but this grounded and algorithmic approach to family protection is always a plus.
Thanks a lot.
I park where there are no other vehicles around. If you park surrounded by other vehicles it gives the opportunity for someone to pull behind you and block you in. It also gives you more time, it’s more obvious if someone is following you to the back of the parking lot where there are no other vehicles. This had bought me time before against beggars and homeless.
Me and my wife both prefer to park away from other vehicles for not only our safety as you explained, but also to protect the vehicle better from being hit and/or getting door dings.
Thanks for hosting these guys.....better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.....great stuff.
Literally sitting in the hospital with my newborn watching this
Congratulations
Welcome to the club. Congratulations!
Congratulations. Cherish these next five years, because they will fly by.
Congrats!
Congratulations my brother! Stay blessed and safe and always cherish the moments. Even the sleepless ones, time flies by.
The saying I use with my family is "Prepared not Paranoid" like carrying or wearing a seatbelt, I'd rather have it and never need it than need it and not have it lol.
I CCW'd everyday for 12 years while I was stationed at Fort Sill, only ever had one close call when they were doing random vehicle checks at the gate, but otherwise no one was the wiser. If the 2009 incident on Fort Hood taught us anything, it's that we should never allow ourselves to be lulled into a false sense of safety just because of the environment we're in. Risk might be low, but never zero, so regulations be damned. You just have to be smart about it.
25+ years in USG dignitary protection & ultra high net worth protection. You live and die by the quality, throughness, and detail of your advance! The advance encompasses EVERYTHING (as well as a multitude of potentials) that will be encountered from residence/office/school/hotel departure to the return or arrival at an alternative final destination.
Good read for the lay person...
"Gift of Fear" by Gavin de Becker
yo dont be the guy takin the only diesel pump on the end when you drivin your gasser
The "no ability to make eye contact with the person driving the 6000 lb death machine At the intersection" window tint is one A#$hole point as well.
Up until watching this video, I thought I was just a paranoid dad. I do all of this stuff the whole time & the fam doesn’t even know 🤣
Read a book called “Left of Bang”.
It’ll be eye opening
@@earlfears will do, thank you for the reply
I’m pretty much always doing all of this but very rarely do I ever communicate it with my wife and kids ( I want them to be able to live normal lives lol). The only thing my wife notices is she says “it takes you so long to park” because I always circle once before selecting…
Keep up the great work gentleman. God bless The United States Of America 🇺🇸
I appreciate your situation but feel it's important for those in your company to be aware and self sufficient in their own protection as you may not be immediately available to save them. Also, it's far more difficult to move a group that is unaware and panicking. 🙏
Prepping for some vague end of the world situation in a way that revolves around buying gear and firearms training is something I dont particularly like about about the "tactical prepper community." I dont take an isssue with either of those things and honestly those things are fun and cool. But stuff like this is such valuable info to share. It helps build a more holistic knowledge base. And hey, a lot of this is stuff I was already practicing either subconciously or actively (got the opportunity to do some driving in Afghanistan). That being said, you can always learn something new and this video is jam packed with good info. Honestly, this channel has been crushing it. Massive thank you for bringing us such a wide variety of useful grade A content for free.
PS: This may or not be a "good" piece of advice. When you park your car try to make it next to some sort of land mark (light poles work well). Even in the best of times finding your car in a massive parking lot can be a little hit and miss sometimes. Wandering around and making your car go "beep" so you can find it is just a bad look.
If you're out with the wife say out loud "we're parked in row 7. Lucky number 7"
Or "row 4, like playing golf, four!"
Making a joke or comment about the number makes it more likely to stick in your mind.
Amazing how being a father awakens the beast within 😊
What I want to see is a vid on perimeter defense and security of a home. Scaling from suburban to rural farm.
I appreciate you guys realizing there are other sources out there that you allow an opportunity to teach on this platform! Yall are awesome!
Something I didn’t see mentioned is changing your cars settings to where your vehicle doesn’t unlock when you shift into park. If you park and shift into park and the doors unlock immediately, it could leave you vulnerable. I manually unlock my doors when I’m ready to exit the vehicle.
Great video coming from you guys! As a young man (23) starting out in the world with the mindset of protecting his future family, this knowledge is critical! Would love to see securing your home on the next one!
As a young first time father to be this topic has been on my mind since i first heard the news , great video! forsure looking forward to more family oriented content.
*EXCELLENT ADVICE!!! In addition to the great points shared, the following suggestions come from my 30 years of experience living in high-risk areas and sadly, a few criminal interactions.*
15:53 *How does this guy Not know that feature can be turned off in all modern vehicles. NEVER allow all your doors to unlock when the vehicle is placed in Park.*
*Additionally, I have taken YEARS to train my wife to look outside and around the vehicle before exiting, and to automatically lock the doors when everyone is in or immediately after someone exits the vehicle. It's a habit for us now.*
16:48 *NEVER go to the back of your car during your fill-up. True, no matter where you stand your line of sight for any approaching threats may be limited. But it is optimum to stand between the hose, your vehicle, the pumps and your driver's door (true, some cars suck by having the gasoline tank on the opposite side of the driver's door, get rid of that car, or train a passenger to deal with it properly) because this position provides you with the most obstacles between you and any would-be attacker and allows you the best opportunity to escape into your vehicle. Standing at the back off your car can get you cut off from re-entry to your vehicle, if your passengers are untrained then they may feel compelled to exit the safety of the vehicle to help you and inadvertently expose everyone else inside to threat.*
20:00 *EXCELLENT ADVICE! Here's how you can leave the perfect amount of space every time while simultaneously discouraging other cars cutting in from of you. As long as when you're sitting back with your head against your headrest you can see the bottom of the back tires of the vehicle in front of you touching the ground, then you're good. This distance will vary depending on the size of vehicle in front of you and the size of your vehicle, but as you practice this you'll notice the distance always works out.*
31:07 *Head on a swivel, eyes bounce back and forth from on the horizon to potential blind spots as you move. After everyone in the vehicle looks around outside, I keep all the other doors locked and I get out of the driver's door, re-lock everyone inside and then come around the back of my vehicle toward the passenger side which gives me an opportunity to get a better look of everything in the area. ONLY THEN do all my passengers get out ONLY on that side. And yes, if they have to side over from the left side to get out that's what they do. (To enforce this policy I keep the child safety lock on the left door behind the driver/me. Obviously I remove that feature when I have a trusted adult male behind me).*
38:40 *As I approach any glasses windows or doors, I am trained to use the reflection to look behind before I even get to the door, to see if I'm being followed or for threats (I use reflections a LOT inside and outside because they're free force multipliers everywhere). I still look back once I open the door.*
49:04 *Immediately after reconning a new location I will always show my wife or friends what I believe is the optimum exit in the event of an emergency by using my entire hand angled sideways with my palm open to point in that direction, and I expect eye contact with a quick head nod to confirm we're in agreement.*
*BEWARE of FREEZERS!!! Because if the crime turns into a stand-off hostage situation over the next few hours or day then hypothermia can kill.*
53:11 / 54:40 *Look outside briefly BEFORE going outside and secure personal items for hands free except your car keys/fob should be in your hand if you need it to open the doors.*
58:30 *The greatest ideas are worthless without practice and habituation.*
*Liberty = Peace & I pray we always enjoy both!*
I thoroughly enjoyed this, and hope to see more like this from you guys in the future. This is a great way to show civilians like us what they can practically do on a regular basis to protect our families.
My son was born last Tuesday, something I needed to see
Another very important thing to consider is how to teach others in your company, especially your children, without creating unnecessary fear. Starting simple like having them aware of the bathroom, exits, kitchen... then talking about earthquake, fire, fights. And slowly increasing their ability to observe their surroundings as they become comfortable all without filling their brain with dread. Thanks for the video. By watching this I realized that I have slowly been getting lax in my own awareness over the years. Bad time in the world to get lazy.
As a Ccw divorced dad of 3 amazing daughters that are my life in a very dangerous world for young girls I sincerely appreciate this!
This was PHENOMENAL. No drama, nothing unrealistic. Real world advice. Thank you!
One of the best videos you guys have put out to date. Great advice and these two guests were top notch. Would love to see some follow up videos with them expanding on additional aspects of Safety for the family!
This might be my favorite video so far. A great topic, super relevant, and super informative. Thank you! Keep up the great content!
This video finally convinced me to subscribe. Excellent content with nuance and context taken into account. Professional presentation once again.
This is the most informative and educational gun channel there is out there. I love what yall do.
One thing I do ( my family travels to sketchy places) is separate myself from my kids and (competent) wife. I get a second perspective of who’s watching who. It’s come in handy more than once.
I do the same thing depending upon the environment, I will hang back from my very competent wife, easier to run up than move backwards and watch what could be coming in. Actually watched a guy try and come in on my bride and was able to call him out to her and caught him between us. This specific instance was a fair with large police presence. Had it been a remote part of downtown, nope, she'd be indirect contact to me, we don't hold hands, but she does hold my arm, so I have both hands available.
Our cars have as dark window tint as allowed by law, in our area is limo tint, hard to see in in day time, definitely can't see in at night, but that works against your ability to see out as well, but I try and limit my areas I go at night.
The security backstreet boys are in sync with those shirts. Looking good!
My son is 6 months old, thank you for providing this information to my wife and I. Really appreciate you guys.
Thank yall putting out all the content you do!
GREAT ideas here. I think this is one of the most helpful vids y'all have produced. Everyday family security considerations.
After working as a professional line cook for many years, making a bee line and Out through the restaurant kitchen has always been my number 1 game plan. It’s almost ALWAYS opposite the front door (assuming the threat comes in through the front) and I have not yet seen an industrial restaurant kitchen that doesn’t have a back door for deliveries.
Shoutout to the dads who provide and protect
I’m the oldest son in my family and I think this is great for people like me who are naturally very protective of their loved ones!
Fed.
Top shelf information, fellas. Much appreciated!
Thank you!! It still surprises me how much of what you talk about in videos like this I do already!! Coming from a military family it’s like breathing!! And I almost never let my gas get below half a tank!! Learned the hard way many years ago to always have at least half a tank of gas in my car at all times!! Another good tip my daughter came up with a game when she was about three. I always told her anything and everything can be used as a weapon. So she started asking how this or that can be used and we discussed how to use it as a weapon. And that’s how the game of how can we use this as a weapon started lol!!
The real MVP is the videographer on the gimbal cam 🔥💪 great video as always guys!
Just had a baby girl a week to the day and should be bringing her home soon. This is a great drop to be able to watch. Keep it up guys.
Me and my wife have a high awareness of our surroundings and we both carry, but this has given thought to a lot of other points we needed and have not thought of before. Great video with lots of great info.
Phenomenal video! Thanks for sharing. Had lots of insight, especially the notes on disclosing unnecessary information by promoting your company on your car or the not-so-cute-anymore stick figure family symbols.
Good insights on this when im currently working 2 security jobs, one for a company and the other a nightclub and Pt Army NG. The knowledge never stops
This is a great video with a lot of helpful information. Thank you.
Great show, and a lot of great advise, I appreciate this and will watch this episode a few times!
That's so true, stop giving out information... It only serves to expose you and your loved ones to danger.
With the level of narcissism nowadays that's almost impossible for some people
@@clamum9648maybe the 2 go hand in hand but from perspective it’s ego . So much can be observed about a situation or someone if we Just learn to watch and listen , for me it’s the ego that leads to everything else .
@@clamum9648 So True!
18:56.... truer words have never been said. Great video
This is great content I dont see very much. One of your best videos.
A few days ago had an incident where i had the right of way but a car behind tried to overtake me and we almost collided and he yelled out threats at me while i had my daughter in the car and I let my ego get the best of me.. Thankfully he drove off. Afterwards i felt guilty because I should have ignored the threats and allowed him to continue. FAMILY FIRST! Thank you for this video.
Thank you for your efforts and I appreciate all of the great information you shared
This channel is great, thanks for all the info
Excellent down to earth practical video for the average Joe....Good work gentlemen
This is awesome. So much good advice. Thank you!
Extremely educational video for anyone and everyone, thank you
Learned something new today. Appreciate that.
Love videos ❤keep them coming
This video came out at the perfect time for me, thank you 👍
Incredibly good video y’all. Tons of good info
As an 8 year police veteran, I can say that; at least in my area, there tends to not be as much crime early in the morning after the sun comes up. Between sunrise and noon would be the best time to run errands and gas up.
You must live in bumfaugh, the lager metropolitan areas are rife with crime, at anytime anywhere. Do not become complacent with lower crime trends in daylight hours, in usually quiet communities. That’s a recipe for disaster.
Eyes up and SA WHEN LEAVING YOUR RESIDENCE.🫡👮🏻♂️
This was awesome. Very informative. Great work fellas.
Great video. It reiterated a lot of things for me as well as gave some very good ideas. Thank ya.
Your content is amazing. Thank you guys!
Thank you for this great content!
Thank you for this video !
This was great! I appreciate the expert daily approach to safety.
I cannot comprehend why he forgot to mention, you always use reflective surfaces to aid in scanning. You approach any venue especially with glass windows, that's a rear view mirror as big as a barn. You typically can't see inside until up close, or under shade in the day, so use that surface-
Ty for this fellow dad's and anything beyond 10 pm is not good
Excellent video! Well thought out discussions on family OpSec.
Dad of 3 here.. I have made SA a game for the kids. When I say "security detail" The boys start counting the people they see. Next they locate the back door. Who ever counts the most wins. 3rd they never stray or play away. Lastly, Both parents should have a set of keys. If one of you is involved with an incident....and the other is trying to evacuate the kids, it is a bit awkward to stop and ask for the keys.
This is awesome. Thanks for this one...
Awesome video. Perfect logical content for us Protective Dads.
Wow...great video. Looking forward to meeting you guys
Another great video!
This is exactly what I want and need. I only care about protecting my family. I don't want it become Rambo or run off into the battle. I want to protect and lead. Thanks for the video.
Much of this came natural for some of us who grew up in the hood.
Being on point, lane selection, etc.
Great video. Thanks guys
Practical, sensible, actionable, great video gentlemen. Subscribed, liked, and shared :)
One thing I personally do differently is during the transition of entering the car dad and or mom should not put on their seat belts until the last minute, until you are ready to put that vehicle in drive. I say this for the chance that you have to exit the vehicle because of a threat. Which could be a number of things from a last minute snatching attempt, active shooter engaging you or your vehicle, etc.
dang just drove past this place today...so glad people like this are in my town.
This is coming in handy as I’m already aggressive with moving my wife and baby in “high risk” transitions and with twins on the way I need her on board more than ever
Once in the vehicle, lock the doors. Then you can go about starting the vehicle and putting on seatbelts. My wife was targeted in a night time parking lot by two POS and this habit saved her.
Happy Holidays! 🤙🏼
great vid, in my 2nd era of dadhood as kids are growing up,crazy times we're living in,its up to us to not be victims but victors!
As a freshly single dad some of this is a hit harder. Thankfully my 13 year old daughter is tall for her age so I've got a little backup for the 2 littles and they all know if I can reach out and grab them they're too far
Awsome content thank you
